Summary
The stages in wound healing are coagulation,
inflammation, proliferation and epithelization.
In traditional, dry wound healing, a scab forms
while these processes occur underneath the
hardened, protective layer. The theory of moist
wound care dictates that healing is greatly
improved in an optimized moist environment. Moist
dressings regulate wound healing, specifically by
controlling moisture levels. Cell growth,
proliferation and migration occur at a faster
rate, especially when a wound cannot close due to
abnormalities in the bodys physiological
processes. Moist wound dressings can play an
important role in facilitating the bodys natural
healing processes. When an adequate amount of
wound fluid is in contact with necrotic tissue,
the bodys enzymes can re-hydrate and liquefy
these hardened tissues in a process called
autolytic debridement. The wound cannot be too
wet, however, as this will cause tissue to soften
and become weak, otherwise known as maceration.

Foam DressingsFoam dressings are one of the most
absorbent products within the moist wound care
market. They are made from polyurethane foam and
come in the island dressing format or fixed with
a secondary dressing. Foam is relatively
inexpensive to manufacture and can easily be
incorporated with other materials such as silver.
High absorbency means that the dressing can
absorb a high level of exudate and has to be
changed less frequently. Foam dressings can be
left on the wound for three to four days on
average and for up to seven days depending on the
level of exudate. This also decreases the amount
of moisture on the wound, which reduces
maceration. Foam dressings are best used during
the inflammatory phase, following debridement
when excess fluid and necrotic tissue are
removed. If the wound is not heavily exuding, the
foam dressing can desiccate the wound bed. Foam
dressings also act as cushioning, giving the
patient increased comfort and alleviating the
pressure that can lead to pressure ulcers.

Film DressingsTransparent film dressings are a
single thin layer of polyurethane and are ideal
for shallow wounds. Their transparency allows the
wound to be observed without having to disturb
the dressing. These dressings are impermeable to
fluid and bacteria, but are one of the least
absorptive dressings. Therefore, they are ideal
for providing mechanical protection to minimally
exuding wounds.  Hydrocolloid DressingsHydrocoll
oid dressings are made of hydrophilic particles,
such as sodium carboxymethylcellulose, bonded to
polyurethane foam or film matrix. As the dressing
absorbs moisture, it forms a gel to create a
moist wound bed. Hydrocolloids are mid-range
along the spectrum of absorbent dressings, so
some wound fluid is not absorbed and remains in
the wound bed to allow for autolytic debridement.

Alginate DressingsAlginates are a primary
dressing made of calcium or calcium sodium salts
derived from the polysaccharides of brown
seaweed. Alginates and hydrofiber dressings are
the best dressings for deep, cavity wounds as
they can be packed inside the wound. Alginates
form a soft gel when they come in contact with
wound exudate. Alginates are sold as non-woven
pads or in a fibrous rope form. The physical form
of the dressing/wound and the level of exudate
determine whether a secondary dressing is
required and the frequency of dressing changes.
Alginate dressings can be used on infected,
heavily exuding, and cavity wounds. They are
easily removed and conform to the wound bed
shape. If the wound is not heavily exuding, the
alginate dressing can desiccate the wound bed.

Hydrofiber DressingsHydrofiber dressings, or
hydrocolloid fibrous dressings, are made of spun
sodium carboxymethylcellulose fibers and are sold
in ribbon and sheet format. They are highly
absorbent dressings as well. Hydrofibers are used
on cavity and superficial wounds with medium to
heavy exudate. Maceration of the skin around the
wound is reduced as the fiber is designed to wick
away moisture. If moistened before application,
hydrofiber dressings can aid in autolytic
debridement. Hydrofibers require a secondary
dressing and, depending on the level of exudate,
can be left on for up to seven days.

Hydrogel DressingsHydrogel dressings are water
or glycerin-based dressings and are the least
absorptive of the moist dressings. They function
to cool and donate fluid to a dry wound bed, thus
promoting autolytic debridement. Hydrogels are
sold as impregnated gauze, sheets and amorphous
gel in a tube. The sheets or wafers are
cross-linked hydrophilic polymers, while the
amorphous gel lacks this cross linking. They are
ideal for necrotic and painful wounds such as
skin tears, ulcers and minor burns. They are
often used in a later stage of wound healing when
the wound starts to dry out. Hydrogels should not
be used on heavily exuding wounds and the skin
around the wound should be observed for
maceration. Caution should be exercised with
infected wounds, as hydrogels could cause
bacterial proliferation. Hydrogels with an
adhesive border must be changed up to three times
a week, while those without an adhesive must be
changed once a day.
